Nintendo has revealed that a brand-new amiibo of Zelda and her blue Loftwing will arrive just in time for Skyward Sword HD on the Switch. A brief trailer was released yesterday to show off the gorgeous figurine, as well as its gameplay functionality in the upcoming HD remaster of the Wii adventure. Players can use the Zelda/Loftwing amiibo to instantly warp from the Surface back to the Sky, saving a lot of travel time.
The Zelda/Loftwing amiibo will release July 16, the same day as Skyward Sword HD. As first reported by Nintendo Life, this amiibo will be a little bit pricier than normal, retailing for $24.99 (compared to the typical $15.99 MSRP). The figurine will sell for 2,750 yen in Japan.
The full reveal video below demonstrates how the warping will work.
